An operating method of a terminal in a wireless communication system including a cell and the terminal includes receiving an external signal including a synchronization signal block (SSB) from the cell, the SSB including a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), obtaining a cell identification number of the cell using the PSS and the SSS, determining a plurality of decoding priorities of a plurality of candidate indexes of the SSB, and performing decoding on the PBCH based on the plurality of decoding priorities.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The operating method of claim 1, wherein the selecting selects first candidate indexes having first correlation values greater than a reference value among the plurality of candidate indexes as the plurality of target candidate indexes, the first correlation values being based on correlations between a reference signal and a plurality of first reference signal sequences corresponding to the first candidate indexes, and the reference signal being included in the SSB.
3. The operating method of claim 2, wherein the reference value is variable based on a communication environment between the cell and the terminal.
4. The operating method of claim 2, wherein the reference value is based on an average of a plurality of second correlation values between a plurality of second reference signal sequences corresponding to the plurality of candidate indexes and the reference signal.
6. The operating method of claim 5, wherein the plurality of decoding priorities indicate priority in descending order of the first correlation values.
7. The operating method of claim 2, the first reference signal sequences are acquired by using a cell identification obtained from the PSS and the SSS.
10. The operating method of claim 1, wherein the SSB is received by the terminal through one of a plurality of transmission beams from the cell.
12. The terminal of claim 11, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to select first candidate indexes having first correlation values greater than a reference value among the plurality of candidate indexes as the plurality of target candidate indexes, the first correlation values being based on correlations between a reference signal and a plurality of first reference signal sequences corresponding to the plurality of target candidate indexes, and the reference signal being included in the SSB.
13. The terminal of claim 12, wherein the reference value is variable based on a communication environment between the cell and the terminal.
14. The terminal of claim 12, wherein the reference value is based on an average of a plurality of second correlation values between a plurality of second reference signal sequences corresponding to the plurality of candidate indexes and the reference signal.
18. The terminal of claim 11, the SSB is received by the terminal through one of a plurality of transmission beams from the cell.
